Wish you all a wonderful Sunday and a joyfull creative week 🌸

Tomorrow I will be traveling to a beautiful little town called Brønnøysund and will attend something called "Brønnøysundregistrenes Brukerforum" for two days, but I will take with me my little Art Journal and do some droodling when its possible 😊 Because i am addicted to Art Journaling 🎨📚

The butterflies, birds, bublebee, flowers. gras and mushroom is made by rubberstamps, and coloured in with differentmedia, such as dylusionsinkspray,Fabercastellbigbrushpens and Distress ink. Imust emphasize thatthe colors aremuch strongerand healthierin reality.

Do you like it? I do - and I hope that my mum will like it also : )

I DIG GARDENING

This is not all i've been up to. I have also made some art in my journals. As you can see i'am more fond of doing art than writing on my blog. My sparetime goes to art, but I hope you still are with me :-)

PLEASE RELEASE ME....

Out of the way I have my sassy britches on...!

Please write me a comment, just so I know your're still out there somewhere, okidoki? : -)

SuddenlyI realized thatIcould alsotakethis peace of art to the Challenge at Rubberdance.blogspot.no. What a brilliant idè ; ) So her I go again. I thinkI'm addicted....This appliestoparticipate in the contest:For May, the colours are bright summery shades of purple, hot pink and sunshine yellow

In addition to our colour scheme we also have an optional THEME: FLOWERS

I hope I will win and that I can recive some of the amazing rubber stamps from Rubber Dance Art as prize. They are all gorgeous, but I did find some favorites. That I can talk about another time. Now lets concentrate on my art on canvas.

I did my art on canvas 20 * 20 cm. this time. For the backround i used tissuepaper from Tim Holtz: Idea-ology - melange. I glue this on with mixed media matt. Let it all dry over night, and then I paint over with gesso mixed with water. Let it dry.

Then I came in with acrylic paint with the fab. coulor Pastel Pink, Pastel blue and Pastel Violet. I painted with babywipes so the colour just melted beautiful together. Then i colored the Big Butterfly with Faber Castell Gelatos in tree different pink coulor.

Then I stamped the background with the background collection from Dylusions called Basic Backgrounds.

I Stamped the flowers who is from Tim Holtz collections called Flowegarden and cut them out. I colored the flowers with Distress Ink in shades of purple, hot pink and sunshine yellow ;) Then I stamped the leaves direct on the canvas (this is from Dylusions collection called Around the Edge), and colored the leaves with Gelatos in two different green colour.

The VerseI havetaken froma famousNorwegianwriter and Lyricer called Arnulf Øverland. He was born in Kristiandsund in 1889, and died in Oslo in 1968.

I written the Verse into a bit ofadesignsheet, cut it out andglueitonto the canvasandthendoodle a "sew edge" around it. I thougt the Verse is beautiful. In english it goes something like this: "I don't liketo talk. WhenI do I do not believemyself, but the flowersherewill thankanyway!"I think the Verse sounds better in Norwegian.... :)

I do hope that I remember it all, but if I don't please do not hesitate to ask if you have any question, okidoki?

In closing I will just show you my mixed medium art collage in my Art Journal that I receivedtremendouspositive response on Facebook and Instagram. I am very proud of this one : ) What do you think? Did you like it?

I'l be back! In the meantime please write me a comment, just so I know you are out there and watching my art, and hopefully get inspired to do art yourself.

Hi!
Here I am, again 😊
About one month ago I bought the book"Distinctly Dylusional - A guide to Art Journaling", by Dyan Reaveley. So if you love Art Journaling like I do, and don't already have this book- buy it! This is absolutly awesome. Lots of tips and inspirations in there 😃 I now read it for the second time.

Here is some of my art I did last week and I thougt I will bring in to the May Challenge at Rubber Dance Art Stamps. The colour for this month is pink, yellow and purple, and we can use flowers if we want to. Yes I do! :)

This time I Also will try to explain to you how I did this. Okey, here we go.

This is a cardstock from my Art Journal binder as I bought at Panduro Shop in My hometown.

For the backround I used Dylusions Ink spray, color Cut Grass, Tangerine Dream and Lemon Zest. Then I used a flower stencil and ghosted the page.

I stamped the girl with Dylusions Black Sheep collection, Cut out an colored her with Promarker pens in pink, purple and Black. For the "hair"I used one of Tim Holtz flower stamp from the collection called Flowergarden. Her legs is from Dylusions stamp collection called Currious Corrin.I used Distress Ink color Mustard Seed, Festive Berries and Picked Raspberry, to color the flower on her head and for the flowers on the ground I used a flower cutter, and colored them with the yellow Distres Ink, and edged them with pink Distress Ink. In the midle of the flowers I used buttons in pink, ,green and purple. The flower stalk is from the Dylusions stamp collection called Inbetweenies.

For the border I used Dylusions stamp Collection called Further Around the Edge. I colored the border with Black and white pens. Some words in the quote is from Tim Holtz smal talk collection, but the Word "in" and "will" is mine.

As you can see I realy looooove Dylusions, and Dyan Reaveley, and Tim Holtz. They are what i would call real Artists.

Thank you for reading. I hope you will give me a comment and maybe follow me on My Art Journey. That I will appreciate. NeXT time I will show you my newest art in canvas. I hope to see you : )

I decidedthat I wouldtry the Challenge onRubberDanceArtStamps Blog.Monthcolorswere soinspiringand lovelythat I couldnot help butmakesomething sweet:)As youcan see I haveused amanillaTagandhavealittlepun:MAYBEEinyourhoney:) I hopeI win! It would be so much fun and very inspiring to keep up the good art work : )Hvis du ønsker det kan jeg legge ut trinn for trinn hvordan jeg laget denne. Bare gi meg en tilbakmelding her på bloggen min.Ifyou wish, I canlay outstep by step howI made this.Just give mesome feedbackhereon my blog.

Now it's very focus on mindfullnes and droodling and color yourself and others happy. That's exactly what I'm doing. And I promise you - it's amazing! Down with the shoulders and up your mood and soul tranquility.

Nå
som jeg har kommet så godt i gang vil jeg vise deg noen sider i min Art Journal
som jeg har laget. Og som jeg skrev i min innledning i bloggen min, er min
intensjon å vise deg både trinn for trinn, teknikker og tips og ideer og bare
ha gode stunder med kreativitet og skaperglede.Now that I've come such a good start, I'll show you a few pages in my Art Journal that I created. And as I wrote in my introduction to my blog is my intention to show you the step by step techniques and tips and ideas and have only good moments with creativity and creative zest.

Her er en dobbeltside i min Art Journal som jeg har kalt: I DIG GARDENING (som
jeg også gjør). This is a double page in my Art Journal I have called: I DIG GARDENING (which I also do).

Path as I go, and that's partly what's so wonderful to do Art Journaling etc. Nothing is predetermined. I have an idea and then I start on this and then just builds up and I find both techniques and topics as the image work forward.

I use a lot of techniques and tools. Including acrylic paint, dylusions ink, gesso, matte medium, Promarker pens, stamps, stencils / templates, wipes, pencil, scissors, etc. It is important to start building up the background first, and there I use many templates and background stamps and credit cards and toilettroll etc. to get different patterns and texture. Anything goes! Just play and try their way. And then when you're happy with the background is just run in with the main theme.

English version:Warmly welcome to nitisartfromheart. This is exciting! :) I have thought very long about getting me a blog where I can teach art creates joy and inspiration, but I just - until now, concentrated on exercising the arts, not write about it. However, I have taken pictures of everything I've done and this I have posted on instagram. I have received a lot of positive feedback and likes on my art so it inspired me even more. Now I think that I will use this blog to post pictures of what I've done, and obviously tutorials, tips, ideas and inspiration.I am very fond of ArtJournals, Manilla Tags, Mixed Media and obviously Canvas, so it becomes this I concentrate on and I'm going to show here on my blog. If there is a great atmosphere for that, I will also be able to post videos and photos step by step "How to" - tutorials:) and obviously what I've used for stamping, painting, stencils etc.I hope you will visit me often and be both inspired and encouraged to either begin to do art, or maybe you are already started but want inspiration and ideas for your wonderful work. Then you are at right place. My inspirations are mostly from Dyan Reaveley, Helen Alen, Tim Holtz and Vicky Papaioannou. These are different artists, but they are very capable all together, and there is also inspiration in itself. As Dyan Reaveley puts it: "Its easy When you know how, isnt it". :) I have been worked with drawing and painting etc. since what I can remember. Also ran for a while with writing poetry, and also had a "career" as a floral designer of dried flowers etc. (When dried flower arrangements were in vogue) :)) I love to play with shapes and colors and different techniques. I'm more of the impulsive type who like to have a starting point I want to make, but when I finished then it has become something completely different than what I had initially thought when I started. As for example this picture:

Here was basically something completely different than what the outcome was. But i am very pleased with the result : )

This is what is called Mixed Media Art on Canvas . I have used both acrylic paint , stamps, credit cards, stencils, pages from an old book , designpaper, pens, gelatos, gesso, cake paper,buttons, dylusisons ink mm

I hope I rustled a little in your spirit of art and that you will accompany me on my journey on the path of art .

Please write tome.I willgreatly appreciateand I will alsoanswer you.And if you have anyquestions- just ask, do not beafraid to ask.Itis by askingone getsanswers toone wonder, right?
